Sunshine Award

I usually do not post awards here, or tags and/or memes. Not that I do not support them, but I always have this itch to write about the joys I found in nature. There are so many joys I found in my exploring that I forgot to share here because there are just too many of them that sometimes those that I planned to write about become forgotten.

However, when I saw the tag that Tes, of The Craftista, gave me, I find it inspiring to share as well. It's like a getting to know you, and I always get excited to learn more from others aside from what they write as well. Now, I am taking this time to answer the tag before I forget about this again.

Thank you, Tes, for giving me this opportunity to share these 10 simple things about me.

First, about the rules for receiving the award:-
a. Thank the person who gave you the award.- I did :)
b. Write a post about it and answer the 10 questions below.- sure I did :)
c. Pass it on to 10 bloggers who you think really deserve it and send them a message to let them know- I apologized to not follow the 10, instead I am giving special thanks to special people in this post.

The Questions:
01. My favorite color: Pink

I Sure Jumped in Joy on Seeing Many Fields of Pink

02. My favorite animal: Dog

Dog Speeding Downhill While the Man Uses Skii to Gain Speed

03. My favorite number: I really do not have one.

04. My favorite non-alcoholic drink: Coffee

05. Facebook or twitter: I have both, but I am not very familiar with Twitter.

06. My passion: Hiking, Riding Ocean's Waves, Nature Get-Away

07. Getting or giving presents: Both

08. My favorite food: Rice, all time. I cannot live without it.

09. My favorite day of the week: Saturday

10. My favorite flower: all flowers are beautiful to me, but I am presently fascinated by fireweeds, dominant wildflowers in Alaska.

Anyway, it is really difficult to choose only ten people out of the many friends I have made here in the blogosphere. Instead, I will give everyone the freedom to share something about themselves if they wanted to.

My special thanks however to the following special blogging friends who had been with me through the years, who had inspired me to blog through their enthusiasm and joys. I am referring to my earliest blogging friends who I had met in blogosphere and who continued to add joy to my life each time they leave their mark. I do not know if they know that they are the very first 6 blogging friends I met and had contributed greatly to my growth here in the blogosphere, and their visits always made me jump for joy. I am so glad to have them still around after several years of blogging.

1. Ruthi of My Refuge Online - she leads the blogging way, I follow :) thanks for being a mentor and a friend Ruthi.

To all the others, I am so glad for your presence here, and for the inspiration you brought my way each time you visit. Quoting Tes again, "Thank you guys for tirelessly visiting my blog and for leaving your marks on the pages of my life. Am loving the friendship! :)" I am really loving each pages of my life because of YOU!
